[Boost-users] Resolving TR1/Boost conflicts

Is there a Boost policy on resolving conflicts between Boost behavior and the 
TR1 spec?  As an example, std::tr1::is_base_of<T, T> returns true, but 
boost::is_base_of<T, T> returns false.  Changing Boost behavior would presumably 
break existing code, but failing to implement TR1 semantics is likely to be 
confusing/surprising to many.

My understanding is that Boost is committed to bringing its TR1-like libraries 
into conformance with TR1, but it'd be helpful if people who follow Boost more 
closely than I could confirm that.

Thanks,

Scott
